War of words ignites over anti-depressant use — Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Type: Press
Author(s): Mark Schwed
Source: Seattle Post-Intelligencer
It was supposed to be a simple publicity tour for the movie "War of the Worlds," but it has turned into a war of words. The movie's star, Tom Cruise, has been on a crusade that has nothing to do with the movie and a lot to do with his religious beliefs in the Church of Scientology. First, Cruise publicly attacked Brooke Shields for taking the anti-depressant Paxil for postpartum depression. Then he went after "Today" anchor Matt Lauer for not ...

Shrinks fight back against Cruise missile — New Zealand Herald
Type: Press
Source: New Zealand Herald
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has sharply criticised actor Tom Cruise for televised remarks in which he called psychiatry a "pseudo science" and disputed the value of anti-depressant drugs. "It is irresponsible for Mr Cruise to use his movie publicity tour to promote his own ideological views and deter people with mental illness from getting the care they need," APA President Dr Steven Sharfstein said in a statement. During interviews promoting his latest film, War of the Worlds, Cruise has discussed ...

Missionary Man: Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology — Spiegel Online
Type: Press
Author(s): James Verini
Source: Spiegel Online
Tom Cruise has become a top proselytizer for Scientology. Is it because of a new private conviction, or a new public role for the church itself? In the course of just a few months, Tom Cruise has made an astounding public leap: He has transformed himself from one of the world's biggest movie stars into one of the oddest. It's not just his sudden romance with and engagement to actress Katie Holmes, which has not yet managed to shake the air ...

Tom Cruise discusses psychiatry, Scientology — CBC News
Type: Press
Source: CBC News
Actor Tom Cruise sparred with Today show host Matt Lauer last week over the merits of psychiatry. Although his ostensible reason for appearing on the morning show was to promote this week's release of War of the Worlds, Cruise got into a heated debate when Lauer brought up comments that Cruise has made in the past about depression. The on-air argument is the latest in a growing number of interviews in which Cruise, known for his roles in movies like ''Minority ...

A couch Tom Cruise won't jump on // Actor lambastes psychiatry on 'Today' — Washington Post
Type: Press
Author(s): Richard Leiby
Source: Washington Post
Okay, should we address him as Dr. Tom Cruise from now on? Or will the Rev. Dr. Cruise suffice? Whatever: Anybody who watched the actor's performance on NBC's "Today" show yesterday witnessed an unsettling transformation. The movie star, who has long embraced Scientology, launched a full-bore assault on the psychiatric profession, sticking to a script that his church (founded, mind you, by a hack science fiction writer) has been promoting for decades. "Psychiatry is a pseudoscience," he told host Matt Lauer, ...

Scientologists vs. psychiatrists // Why they don't get along — Slate Magazine
Type: Press
Author(s): Daniel Engber
Source: Slate Magazine
In an interview shown on NBC's Today on June 24, celebrity Scientologist Tom Cruise railed against modern treatments for mental health problems. "I've never agreed with psychiatry, ever," he said. Do all Scientologists have a problem with psychiatry? Yes. Scientology has its roots in a maverick form of psychological counseling that rejects the principles of modern psychiatry. In 1950, L. Ron Hubbard published Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. (He founded the Church of Scientology a few years later.) The ...

Reader's Digest on Cruise Control — Radar Online
Type: Press
Source: Radar Online
Did Reader’s Digest sell its soul to the Church of Scientology to get Tom Cruise on the cover of its current issue? According to several sources inside the world’s largest-selling monthly, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Jackie Leo, wanted Cruise as her cover boy but was impeded by the magazine’s history with the controversial group. Back in 1991, Reader’s Digest excerpted an in-depth investigative piece from Time magazine entitled Scientology: The Cult of Greed. Among other things, the article asserted that the Church ...

Tom Cruise: Entertaining or Dangerous? — Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology
Type: Opinion
Author(s): Harold S. Koplewicz
Source: Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology
The interchange between Tom Cruise and Matt Lauer on the Today show was a premeditated attack on psychiatrically ill patients. While Mr. Cruise’s claims of expertise in the history of psychiatry were unchallenged, as physicians and psychiatrists we know the complex facts he distorted and the damage such glib untruths cause. Like all of medicine, psychiatric knowledge is far from perfect. However, despite side effects the discovery of antipsychotic medications helped free millions of patients from unrelenting hallucinations and from long ...
